elderbear Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 hey don't blame me i wasn't even around for the past 24 hours!!!!! How in the world does a warp drive topic progress to meatloaf? it's scientificly impossible to imagine Nah. Think neuroscience. Think subconscious associations. Given the number of participants on these forums, anything will eventually digress to anything else ... B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonHelton Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 The Voyager spacecraft left the solar system at 37,000 miles per hour. At that speed, it would take Voyager 80,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/research/warp/scales.html :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonHelton Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 IMO I think any travelers that come here are on colony type ships. Children of crews that left their planet, maybe hundreds or thousands of years ago. (sounds alot like gallactica) Maybe looking for a new home themselves. When they get here, they are confused about us. Such violence in our society. We scare the hell out of them. They take samples of us to try and understand the violence in us. Scares them even more. They continue on to another destination saying, don't go there. Of course being at the tail end of the arm makes us lucky. We haven't been invaded(we would lose badly) Just think if a race like the Klingons came here. Tits up baby You don't think we'd eventually win?? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relentless Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Human recklessness has it's advantages ya know... of course we'd win.... although the weak would die off and make room for the strong ;) :cyclops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ship from another planet that's hostile could wipe us out from space. Then just come down at their pleasure. To mop up. If you suggest we though nukes at them, we just die sooner then later. I think the US government is helping us out by not signing the kyoto accord. If we polute the planet enough no-one from any other planet would want it.

Which brings me back to my desire to have a bone-fide spacefleet. ......The "real deal", like B5, ST, etc. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psheldrake1 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Where closer to B5 ships than STs. Still a fleet of them might get us into more trouble than we can get out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if they were, do we have evidence of any other life out there wanting the planet or not? Definately not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostwolf357 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I know we all wanna travel to distant planets and stuff' date=' but if we were to think about the ethical dilemmas that would arise, we'd quickly see that interstellar travel is not gonna happen for a long time even if technology permits it much sooner![/quote'] More likely we will be to busy fighting over the resources of the local soler system for anyone to use to maney new technoligeis once we reach FLT propulsion. :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afransen Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Well, expending trillions of dollars to buld a "space fleet" to defend Earth from an extraterrestrial invasion, using technology that may or may not work and defend against a threat for which we have no evidence of its existence... well, seems a bit kooky. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuxtreme Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Well it is said that in the next 30 to 50 years our computers will be a million times powerfull than the ones we have today. That would help in alot cause the computer sent the first man into space :D At the moment we are all fighthing against each ohther building weapons to wipe each other off the planet. If we could work togather combine all the knowledge and funding I think space travell would be a much nearer prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell all those scientists working on Warp Drive Theory, Food Replicators, Invisibility Cloaks & Transporters to stop, since in your opinion, we won't ever be attacked. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
